Bicyclists

"I see that the Lance Armstrong boys club is out breaking the law again riding four, five, six abreast. I'd like to suggest since they think they're above the law, they ought to have their bicycles confiscated, each be fined the minimum of $10,000 for each violation of the law and have their driver's license suspended for a year. Maybe Mr. Armstrong ... can justify why they do what they do."

Honest Citizen

"I want to thank the person that turned my son's wallet into the police station in Loveland. Thank you so much."

Winter Watering

"Watering in the wintertime is not a waste of water. It can prevent mites which are a cause of the loss of large areas of the lawn. It's especially bad on the south side of the houses where the sun reflects off the side of the house making a warm environment for mites to thrive. The person watering is not an idiot, but the caller complaining just might be an ignorant."

Secret to Longevity

"I knew it all along, but it took Ethel Rodgers turning 100 years on the front page of the paper, to confirm that longevity comes from hard work and Snickers bars."

Thanks for Sharing

"Thank you to the Loveland Concert Band and the Mountain View High School band for a wonderful concert Sunday night. And a special thank you to the lady who shared part of her raffle winning with someone who didn't win anything, that was very much appreciated."

Gun Bills

"Sadly not one gun bill that the Democrats are proposing in our statehouse will have any effect on what the bad guys wants to do."

"After reading that gun-free zones leave law-abiding citizens vulnerable to harm, it occurs to me that the safest thing we could do would be to arm every law-abiding citizen as soon as they enter any public place. This will include elementary school classrooms, movie theaters, football games, concerts and heated city council meetings, to name a few. In addition to feeling safe, I would also feel afraid to come."

"Let's address all of the issues. If we're going to hold gun manufacturers responsible for the criminal use of a gun, let's take a look at the mentally ill also. Maybe we should hold family members responsible for enabling a mentally ill relative that could cause serious problems to others."

School Zones

"Today is Monday, no school, but the yellow lights are flashing for schoolchildren crossing the road. It sure would be nice if there were school districts who are responsible and reprogram for this particular day and any other holiday that comes on a weekday. Let's get our act together."
